Abstract: A garden torch, or tiki torch, comprises a pole pointed at its lower end with a bracket attached to the top of the pole. The upper portion of the bracket is a cover with a wick and a wick hole. A beer can or soft drink can, the contents of which have been replaced with torch oil or other illuminating liquid, may have the wick inserted through the top hole in the can, and the can may then be inserted into the bracket.

Abstract: A camping lantern and cooking stove set for use with a gas canister includes a valve, which is attachable to the gas canister for regulating an outflow of gas to either a mixing tube designed to distribute an appropriate amount of gas to a gas lantern or a mixing tube designed to distribute an appropriate amount of gas to a cooking stove.

Abstract: Liquid fuel consuming apparatus for use as a devotional candle or votive light arrangement comprises a reservoir housing a horizontally oriented tubular shape with a series of holes in its top face aligned with an equal series of fuel holding wells provided on an insert located in the reservoir. A non-removable wick in a holding tube is provided in each aligned hole and well with its top above the hole and its bottom in the well. Means are provided to fill the wells with fuel from a tank. Through capillary action fuel passes up the wick. The amount of fuel in the well is determined by the capacity of the well, and therefore the illuminating time period for a wick after being ignited.

Abstract: A chemiluminescent device is disclosed wherein a first polymeric sheet having a shaped cavity therein is sealed around its periphery to a second polymeric sheet and the cavity contains (1) an absorbent article produced from a polyolefin, or a polyester or glass fibers and being of substantially the same shape as the cavity and (2) a sealed receptacle containing a first liquid component of a chemiluminescent light composition and wherein there is also present, outside said sealed receptacle, a second liquid component of a chemiluminescent light composition, said absorbent article conforming to seven critical chemical limitations.

Abstract: Three cylinders containing a combustible gas under pressure are interchangeably attached to a lantern supporting stanchion to serve as a tripod stand for the lantern and provide a source of fuel for the lantern from one of the locations of attachment.

Abstract: A folding reflector for a lantern is formed from a pair of reflecting panels which are pivotally secured for pivotal movement between a folded position in which the panels are superposed and an extended position in which the panels extend in opposite directions from the pivot. When the panels are extended, the reflector can be inserted around the globe of the lantern. When the panels are folded, the reflector can be stored in the bottom of the fount of the lantern.

Abstract: A fluid lamp assembly (10) converts a candlestick (24) to a fluid lamp. A rubber stopper (20) fits into cup (22) of the candlestick (24). The assembly (10) has a hollow glass container (12) with a bottom (14) having a pointed tip (16) which fits into hole (18) in the rubber stopper (20). A fiberglass wick (34) extends into oil reservoir (40) and has a tip extending from opening (26) in container (12).

Abstract: A gaseous lantern ventilator including an outer shell concentrically spaced over an inner metal liner which collects and exhausts the hot gases from the burner assembly through a chimney, the upper end of which is surrounded by an annular opening in the outer shell. The rising hot gases will entrain outside cool air drawn between the shell and liner, thereby cooling the liner and substantially reducing the surface temperature of the outside shell.

Abstract: An emergency flashlight for illumination or signalling comprising an abrasive member and a pyrophoric member. The abrasive and pyrophoric members are mounted for predetermined relative movement against each other to produce and project a stream of self-igniting particles of pyrophoric material abraded from the pyrophoric member. The position of the members and the direction of their relative movement is aligned to present the stream of particles to a light-transmitting combustion zone. As a flashlight, the device includes a reflector having a reflection or focal zone coincident with this combustion zone and constructed to beam the emitted light to the region to be illuminated. The reflector shields the eyes of the operator from the emitted light and from burning particles and, in preferred embodiments, is a uniform surface of revolution to provide a concentrated light beam.

Abstract: A self-luminescent light source for a liquid crystal display watch characterized by comprising a fluorescent substance layer which has a light reflectivity and which contains a radioactive substance in at least a part thereof, a reflective layer which is disposed on one surface of the fluorescent substance layer and which serves to reflect and scatter fluorescence from the fluorescent substance layer, a case which is disposed on the side of the reflective layer remote from the fluorescent substance layer and which serves to perform shielding from radiation given out from the radioactive substance, and a cover which is disposed on the side of the fluorescent substance layer remote from the reflective layer and which serves to absorb the radiation given out from the radioactive substance and to transmit the light from the fluorescent substance layer.

Abstract: A chemiluminescent lightstick with an attached actuating device is stored inside a container having a hinged lid which opens for access to and for display of the lightstick. The container comprises clamping means by which the lightstick is held at a display position in the open container. The lightstick as clamped in the display position holds open the lid of the container. In this mode, the lightstick and container make a convenient lantern.

Abstract: A combination lantern container and reflector device is disclosed in which a camping lantern or similar lighting device is protected in a primary enclosure formed from a rear panel and laterally pivotal wings connected thereto. The wings and rear panel cooperatively are adapted to fully enclose the lantern on four sides and a top panel is provided at the top thereof. The lantern rests upon a platform in turn forming both the lower surface of the lantern enclosure and the upper surface of a second enclosure in which appropriate supplies for the device may be stored. A closure wall or access door of the second enclosure is maintained in a closed position by partial contact of portions of the laterally extending wings. A lantern may thus be carried and safely stored in this device in its closed position as well as being utilized in the open position wherein the wings act as light reflectors.

Abstract: A flashlamp signal device which includes an illumination means for providing a prolonged, visible signal after actuation of each of the device's flashlamps. The illumination means may be in the form of a phosphor coating within the device or on an adjacent, movable panel, or the phosphor may be impregnated within the light-transmitting housing or support structure of the device.

Abstract: A signal device comprising a partially transparent package containing a plurality of percussively-ignitable flashlamps arranged in an array with respectively associated preenergized striker springs, and a movable member for sequentially releasing the striker springs to fire respective flashlamps in response to successive indexing. The device is adapted to be hand held and the movable member is adapted to be actuated and indexed directly by hand.
